It has the quality of myth: a poor cobbler's son, a seminarian from an oppressed outer province of the Russian empire, reinvents himself as a top leader in a band of revolutionary zealots. When the band seizes control of the country in the aftermath of total world war, the former seminarian ruthlessly dominates the new regime until he stands as absolute ruler of a vast and terrible state apparatus, with dominion over Eurasia. While still building his power base within the Bolshevik dictatorship, he embarks upon the greatest gamble of his political life and the largest program of social reengineering ever attempted: the collectivization of all agriculture and industry across one sixth of the earth. Millions will die, and many more millions will suffer, but the man will push through to the end against all resistance and doubts."--|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Stalin, Joseph,|d1878-1953.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80044789 600 10 Stalin, Joseph,|d1878-1953|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n80044789|xPsychology.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002011487 600 14 Stalin, Joseph,|d1879-1953. 600 17 Stalin, Joseph,|d1878-1953.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/53304 648 7 1917-1936|2fast 648 7 1936-1953|2fast 648 7 1925-1953|2fast 648 7 1917 - 1953|2fast 650 0 Heads of state|zSoviet Union|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008105511 650 0 Dictators|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85037695|zSoviet Union|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n80126312-781|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Political culture|zSoviet Union|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008109576|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Psychology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1081447 650 7 Heads of state.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/952677 650 7 Dictators.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/892873 650 7 Political culture.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1069263 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919741 650 7 Political science.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1069781 651 0 Soviet Union|xPolitics and government|y1917-1936.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125845 651 0 Soviet Union|xPolitics and government|y1936-1953.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125847 651 0 Soviet Union|xHistory|y1925-1953.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85125814 651 7 Soviet Union.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1210281 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 856 42 |3Cover image|uftp://ppftpuser:welcome@ ftp01.penguingroup.com/Booksellers and Media/Covers/ 2008_2009_New_Covers/9781594203794.jpg 901 MARCIVE 20231220 994 C0|bRID
